WORK  AMONG  THE  INDIANS 


[edition  of  1900.] 

Church  work  among  the  Indian  tribes  of  this  country  is  carried  on  in  the 
following  states  and  territories:  Alaska,  Arizona,  Michigan,  Minnesota,  Nevada, 
North  Dakota,  Oklahoma,  South  Dakota,  Southern  Florida,  Southern  Virginia, 
Utah  and  Wyoming. 

Alaslca.  The  work  is  conducted  under  the  general  supervision  of  the  Right  Rev. 
Dr.  Rowe,  with  the  assistance  of  his  band  of  missionaries.  Point  Hope,  the  most  north- 
ern station  within  the  Missionary  District,  is  in  charge  of  Dr.  Driggs,  Missionary  Physi- 
cian, who,  as  lay-reader,  ministers  to  the  spiritual  as  well  as  to  the  physical  needs  of  the 
natives  in  that  ice-clad  country.  The  mission  services  are  maintained  with  usual  interest 
and  the  Sunday  and  day-school  doing  as  well  as  can  be  expected.  For  the  past  two  sea- 
sons there  has  been  an  influx  of  whalemen,  who  have  located  four  new  whaling  stations 
at  various  places  on  Point  Hope  and  a fifth  at  Kivalinya,  seventy-five  miles  distant. 
Dr,  Driggs  was  called  upon  last  spring  to  attend  four  cases  of  scurvy  that  had  developed 
at  one  of  these  stations.  He  also  had  under  his  care  a man  with  a fractured  clavicle, 
caused  from  falling  oflE  an  iceberg. 

At  Anvik  and  in  the  Chageluk  villages  the  work  continues  in  charge  of  the  Rev.  J.  W. 
Chapman,  assisted  by  Messrs.  E.  M.  Van  Note  and  Isaac  Fisher,  and  the  Misses  Sabine 
and  Proebstel.  Mr.  Chapman  reports  having  visited  the  Chageluk  slough,  where  some 
progress  has  been  made,  as  evinced  by  the  interest  taken  in  two  of  the  villages  to  secure 
and  maintain  the  services  of  the  Church.  Mr.  Van  Note  took  a party  of  three  native 
young  men  into  the  Chageluk  villages,  where  for  six  weeks  they  taught  the  Commandments 
and  the  Gospel  narrative  in  all  but  one  of  the  villages,  where  a Roman  Priest  was  already 
at  work.  They  found  the  people  responsive. 

On  November  22d,  the  new  school-room  at  Anvik  was  opened,  and  during  the  whole 
winter  it  was  used  for  the  daily  service,  as  well  as  for  the  school.  The  upper  story  was 
used  as  a dormitory.  On  November  29th,  the  new  chapel  at  St.  Paul,  on  the  Chageluk 
slough,  was  begun.  The  walls  were  put  up  as  high  as  the  eaves,  and,  for  want  of  suflS- 
cient  material,  the  work  was  suspended  until  spring,  when  the  flooring  was  sawed  out. 
This  work  was  done  by  the  voluntary  labor  of  the  people  of  those  villages.  Miss  Sabine 
and  Miss  Proebstel  have  charge  of  the  girls’  school  at  Anvik.  The  school  opened  in  Sep- 
tember, 1897,  with  a roll  of  thirty-nine,  which  increased  to  forty-five.  At  the  end  of 
May,  1898,  the  total  attendance  for  the  year  was  4,531,  an  average  of  about  twenty-four. 
Before  Christmas  it  increased  from  thirty  to  thirty-five,  but  as  spring  approached  it 
greatly  lessened.  The  progress  of  the  pupils  has  been  satisfactory.  There  have  been  ten 
baptisms,  all  of  infants,  two  persons  confirmed,  ten  married,  and  six  deaths.  Daily  ser- 
vices have  been  kept  up  with  few  interruptions.  Holy  Communion  has  been  celebrated 
monthly  and  on  greater  festivals,  and  once  privately.  Meetings  of  the  Woman’s  Auxil- 
iary and  the  Junior  Auxiliary  and  of  the  Brotherhood  of  St.  Andrew  have  been  regularly 
maintained  during  the  winter.  It  will  be  remembered  that  the  buildings  at  Anvik  be- 
longing to  the  mission  consist  of  Christ  Church,  a dwelling-house,  two  school-houses,  a 
saw-mill,  a store-house,  a laundry  and  two  small  cabins.  Mr.  Chapman  reports  that  the 
past  year  has  been  a broken  one,  and  in  many  respects  a disappointing  one.  There 
has  been  much  sickness  at  the  station  and  considerable  sufifering.  A neighboring  physi- 
cian, Dr.  Martin  Burns,  has  rendered  valuable  service  to  the  mission  during  the  winter. 

In  the  boarding-school  in  charge  of  Miss  Sabine  there  have  been  ten  pupils,  of  whom

seven  continued  up  to  the  date  of  report,  four  being  orphans.  The  day-school  has  been 
maintained  during  the  winter,  but  with  a smaller  average  attendance  than  the  previous 
year.  The  expense  of  maintaining  the  school  has  been  about  $1,000.  It  has  been  a year 
of  very  high  prices  throughout  all  Alaska.  An  addition  to  the  girls’  school  house  was 
completed  on  November  16th,  thus  giving  larger  accommodations.  The  native  teacher, 
Isaac  Fisher,  has  been  very  faithful  and  helpful  in  every  way  during  the  year,  and  has  ex- 
plained the  Gospel  for  the  day  to  a class  of  grown  persons.  Services  have  been  maintained 
as  usual,  though  the  attendance  has  been  fluctuating.  Miss  Sabine  has  been  most  dili- 
gent in  teaching  and  visiting  the  people,  going  into  their  houses  daily  in  the  effort  to  keep 
alive  the  interest  of  the  young  women  in  the  teaching  they  have  received.  Miss  Proeb- 
stel  has  passed  thn  ugh  a most  difficult  “ flrst  year,”  with  continually  increasing  interest 
and  marked  success. 

At  Fort  Adams,  Mr.  A.  A.  Selden,  lay-missionary,  reports  that  last  winter  the  school 
went  on  without  intermission,  and  so  pleased  were  the  Indians  with  the  result  of  its  work 
that,  at  Christmas,  they  made  an  offering  of  skins,  meat,  moccasins,  etc.,  amounting  to 
$138.  The  mission  had  the  advantage  of  having  the  Rev.  Mr.  Westley  in  the  neigh- 
borhood last  winter,  who  proved  helpful  in  administering  the  Holy  Communion  at  times, 
baptizing  children,  and  in  other  ways  comforting  the  missionary  flock  in  the  wilderness. 
Last  winter  Mr.  Selden  made  two  trips  to  Rampart,  a distance  of  eighty  miles,  to  look 
after  the  interests  of  the  Church  and  hold  service.  The  following  are  the  statistics 
for  the  station;  Services,  Indian,  48;  white,  15;  baptisms,  27;  marriages,  11;  cele- 
brations, 2;  days  of  school,  70;  average  attendance,  38;  contributions  in  kind:  For 
school  needs,  $125.50;  for  the  poor,  .$252.50;  total,  $378. 

At  Ketchikan,  an  Indian  village  inhabited  by  Thlinkits,  there  is  a school-house  which 
is  used  for  a chapel  as  well  as  for  the  day-school.  Four  acres  of  land  have  been  given  to 
the  mission  upon  which  to  erect  a chapel,  school-house,  mission-house,  and  hospital. 
Miss  Agnes  Edmond,  a communicant  of  St.  Paul’s  Church,Tacoma,  has  gratuitously  given 
her  services  in  conducting  the  school  work  at  Ketchikan.  She  teaches  four  hours  daily, 
the  school  numbering  thirty-seven  Indian  children.  The  Rev.  A.  J.  Campbell,  m.d.,  re- 
signed his  appointment  September  30th,  1898,  and  died  soon  after.  On  Prince- of- Wales 
island  is  located  the  old  village  of  the  Hydah  Indians,  who  are  anxious  for  a mission  sta- 
tion at  their  place,  and  have  requested  Miss  Edmond  to  come  and  live  amongst  them,  and 
to  give  their  children  the  benefits  of  her  instruction.  Bishop  Rowe,  however,  feels  that 
he  cannot  spare  Miss  Edmonds  from  her  work  at  Ketchikan  until  a missionary  is  centred 
there. 

The  mission  at  Fort  Yukon  for  the  past  two  years  has  been  under  the  charge  of  the 
Rev.  J,  Hawksley,  but  he  has  lately  been  obliged  to  leave  and  go  to  the  help  of  Bishop 
Bompas.  It  is  an  important  Indian  centre  for  missionary  work.  The  Indians  of  Gen- 
du-Large,  Rampart  House,  Beaver  Creek,  the  Ratband  and  Fort  Yukon  all  congregate  at 
that  place.  There  is  a small  log  mission  house  at  the  station  that  is  used  for  school  pur- 
poses and  also  for  Church  services.  The  Rev.  L.  J.  H.  Wooden  has  been  assigned  to 
duty  there,  and  will  begin  by  September  1st.  Mr,  William  Loola,  native  reader,  is  doing 
good  work. 

Mr.  Prevost  carries  on  an  occasional  work  at  Port  Hamlin,  an  Indian  village  about 
midway  between  Fort  Yukon  and  Circle  City.  The  Indians,  some  of  whom  are  mutes, 
are  baptized  Churchpeople.  Work  among  the  Indians  is  also  continued  in  Circle  City 
under  Dr.  J.  L.  Watt,  assisted  by  Mr.  Joseph  Kwulwul. 

Arizona.  Under  Bishop  Kendrick,  the  missionary  work  is  prosecuted  among  the 
Navajo  Indians  at  Fort  Defiance,  which  the  Bishop  reports  is  flourishing.  The  hospital 
at  Fort  Defiance  is  now  fairly  well  equipped  and  is  beginning  to  do  its  work.  Miss 
Thackara,  the  superintendent,  is  no  longer  alone,  but  has  with  her  a physician,  a nurse, 


4 


and  a teacher.  The  Indians  are  becoming  interested,  and  are  coming  in  for  treatment. 
Hostility  and  prejudice  are  disappearing.  An  adult  and  two  children  have  been  baptized 
among  the  Indians  during  the  year. 

Boise.  Under  the  Right  Rev.  Dr.  Funsten,  the  work  among  the  Indians  is  conducted 
in  three  reservations.  At  Fort  Hall,  in  Idaho,  the  Bishop  will  assume  the  work  formerly 
carried  on  by  the  Connecticut  Indian  Association,  and  take  over  the  mission  buildings  and 
a farm  of  160  acres.  At  the  Shoshone  reservation,  in  Wyoming,  is  located  our  school  for 
Indians,  under  the  care  of  the  Rev.  John  Roberts.  Attached  to  this  mission  is  a beautiful 
farm  of  160  acres,  well  stocked.  During  the  Bishop’s  visit  at  that  station  he  preached, 
through  an  interpreter,  to  the  Shoshones  and  Arapahoes,  and  also  to  a large  congrega- 
tion at  Fort  Washakie.  The  Rev.  Sherman  Coolidge  and  an  Indian  catechist  are  doing 
faithful  work  among  their  own  people,  the  Arapahoes.  At  Lander  the  Bishop  also  held 
service  and  preached  in  the  church  at  that  place. 

Duluth.  The  missions  of  the  Church  among  the  Chippewa  Indians,  with  which  the 
name  of  Bishop  Whipple  was  long  associated,  are  all  situated  in  the  northern  portion  of 
the  Missionary  District  of  Duluth.  Within  the  jurisdiction  of  Duluth,  it  is  estimated  that 
there  are  between  5,000  and  8,000  Indians  and  half-breeds. 

Government  schools  have  been  established  at  Red  Lake,  Wild  Rice  River,  White 
Earth,  Pine  Point,  and  other  places,  and,  in  the  judgment  of  Bishop  Morrison,  they  are 
doing  a good  work.  The  Roman  Church  has  had  a missionary  work  among  the  Indians 
for  more  than  200  years.  They  have  now,  it  is  said,  six  white  Priests  and  a number  of 
women  belonging  to  religious  orders  engaged  in  Indian  work.  At  White  Earth  and  at 
Red  Lake  they  have  schools  toward  the  support  of  which  the  United  States  Government 
pays  fully  $10,000  annually.  They  claim  a membership  among  the  Chippewas  of  between 
2,000  and  3,000  souls.  Their  following  is  principally  confined  to  the  half-breeds.  They 
seem  to  have  made  very  little  impression  on  the  full-blood  Indians.  Our  own  Church 
has  been  pursuing  mission  work  among  the  Chippewas  for  about  forty  years.  The  pres- 
ent staff  of  workers  consists  of  Archdeacon  Gilfillan,  the  Rev.  Francis  Willis,  eight  In- 
dian clergymen,  and  one  catechist.  The  statistics  show  1,007  baptized  persons  and  561 
communicants.  The  Bishop  has  confirmed  130  Indians  during  the  last  two  and  a half 
years.  There  are  ten  churches.  The  work  is  seriously  hampered  by  insuflJcient  means, 
the  appropriations  of  the  Board  not  being  large  enough  to  pay  even  the  stipends  of  the 
present  staff.  The  Bishop  has  a petition  from  a band  of  Indians  far  away  in  the  forest  ask- 
ing for  a missionary.  A devoted  Churchwoman  in  the  Diocese  of  Newark  supports  one 
of  the  missions  among  the  Indians  and  contributes  largely  to  help  the  clergy  in  other 
missions.  Beyond  these  contributions,  the  Bishop  has  not  received  $200  this  year  for  the 
Indian  work  from  the  Church  at  large.  He  asks  for  generous  contributions  to  meet  the 
demands  of  this  pressing  work. 

Minnesota.  Under  the  Right  Rev.  Dr.  Whipple,  the  Indian  work  is  carried  on  among 
the  Sioux  at  Birch  Coolie.  During  the  year  one  of  the  chief  events  was  the  ordination  to 
the  Diaconate  of  Henry  Whipple,  son  of  the  Rev.  George  St.  Clair,  the  first  Sioux  or- 
dained to  the  sacred  Ministry  of  this  Church.  The  ordination  took  place  at  Birch  Coolie 
in  the  presence  of  a large  gathering  of  Indians.  After  the  ordination  Bishop  Whipple 
held  a confirmation  and  administered  the  Holy  Communion. 

North  Dakota.  Under  Bishop  Edsall,  the  Indian  work  is  among  the  Chippewas,  in 
the  Turtle  mountains,  at  the  Fort  Totten  reservation,  among  the  Dakotas,  on  the  south 
side  of  Devil’s  lake,  at  the  Standing  Rock  reservation,  south  of  the  Cannon  Ball  river, 
and  also  at  Porcupine,  far  up  the  river.  The  Bishop  visited  Dunseith,  June  8th,  and 
preached.  The  next  day  h«  drove  up  into  the  mountains  with  Mr.  Salt  to  the  house  of 
Rising  Sun,  where  Mr,  Salt  conducts  service  every  Sunday,  driving  twenty-five  miles  for 


5 


that  purpose.  Here  the  Bishop  held  a service  and  administered  the  Lord’s  Supper  to 
about  thirty  Indians.  Ho  also  confirmed  two  young  women  and  baptized  five  children, 
and  gave  the  blessing  of  the  Church  upon  the  marriage  of  old  Rising  Sun  and  his  devoted 
wife.  The  couple  are  over  seventy  years  of  age.  Mr.  Salt  is  carrying  on  among  these 
Turtle  mountain  Indians  a most  noble  work.  He  is  to  be  ordained  to  the  Diaconate  this 
year.  A chapel  is  very  much  needed  for  the  work  at  that  station.  The  sum  of  $700 
would  cover  the  expense.  At  Fort  Totten,  the  Rev.  Mr.  Rees  continues  in  charge.  On 
the  Bishop’s  visitation  in  August,  he  confirmed  a class  of  twenty-two  Indians  and  admin- 
istered the  Holy  Communion  to  nearly  fifty.  The  Bishop  was  able  to  read  a good  part 
of  the  Confirmation  service  in  the  Sioux  language,  which  he  had  been  studying  lately. 
John  Brown,  native  lay-reader,  interpreted  the  sermon,  and  both  he  and  Mr.  Kerstetter, 
white  helper,  assisted  Mr.  Rees  and  the  Bishop  in  the  service.  In  addition  to  the  services 
at  St.  Mark’s  Chapel  at  the  fort,  services  are  held  at  two  distant  points  on  the  reservation 
— Raven  Hill  and  The  Bend.  A chapel  at  each  of  these  stations  is  greatly  needed.  The 
work  at  Cannon  Ball,  on  the  Standing  Rock  reservation,  is  under  the  charge  of  Mr.  Rees, 
who  visits  the  station  every  two  months,  but  the  native  helper,  Thomas  P.  Ashley,  con- 
ducts service  every  Sunday.  He  is  a candidate  for  Deacon’s  Orders,  and  will  be  admitted 
within  the  year.  At  Upper  Cannon  Ball,  seven  miles  distant,  services  are  conducted 
every  other  Sunday  in  a private  house  by  Alexander  His  War,  another  native  helper. 
Upon  his  visit  at  this  reservation  the  Bishop  confirmed  fourteen,  baptized  six  children, 
and  solemnized  one  marriage.  Forty-nine  received  the  Holy  Communion.  There  is 
great  need  there  for  a resident  white  Priest,  with  two  or  three  native  Deacons.  The 
present  appropriation  for  the  Indian  work  in  North  Dakota  is  $1,400. 

Oklahoma.  Under  the  Right  Rev.  Dr.  Brooke  there  are  five  different  tribes,  num- 
bering in  all  70,000  Indians,  and  speaking  about  thirty  different  dialeets.  At  St.  Luke’s 
mission,  Bridgeport,  the  work  is  earried  on  by  the  Rev.  D.  A.  Sanford  among  the  Ara- 
pahoes.  At  Whirlwind,  twenty  miles  distant,  the  Rev.  David  P.  Oakerhater,  Indian 
Deacon,  labors  among  the  Cheyennes.  Miss  Roff  is  doing  good  work  among  the  Kiowa 
women  at  Anadarko,  teaching  them  lace-making,  by  which  they  do  much  toward  earning 
their  living.  The  Indian  children  at  Whirlwind  this  year,  for  the  first  time,  made  their 
Lenten  and  Easter  Offering  for  the  missionary  work  of  the  Church. 

Salt  Lake.  Under  Bishop  Leonard,  the  Indian  work  is  now  confined  to  eastern  Utah, 
where  Mr.  M.  J.  Hersey,  candidate  for  Deacon’s  Orders,  is  ministering.  The  work  has  pro- 
gressed, in  spite  of  many  difficulties.  A small  infirmary  of  three  rooms  has  been  added  to 
the  group  of  mission  buildings,  but  some  furniture  is  needed  to  complete  it.  Miss  Lucy 
Carter,  who  has  served  so  faithfully  for  three  years,  has  removed  to  White  Rocks,  on  the 
Uintah  reservation,  and  is  doing  excellent  work. 

South  Dakota.  Under  the  Right  Rev.  Dr.  Hare,  the  Indian  work  is  carried  on 
among  the  Sioux  and  other  tribes  at  the  following  agencies:  The  Rosebud,  Pine  Ridge, 
Standing  Rock,  Cheyenne  River,  Santee,  Yankton,  Sisseton,  Lower  Brule,  Flandreau, 
and  Crow  Creek. 

Among  the  Indians  are  fifty-two  church  buildings,  and  thirty-three  mission  dwell- 
ings, and  ninety  congregations.  With  the  assistance  of  the  lay-helpers,  the  twenty-one 
clergymen  in  the  work  are  able  to  sustain  the  services  of  the  Church  regularly  in  each  of 
these  congregations.  The  confirmations  during  the  year  have  been  209.  The  educa- 
tional work  is  carried  on  in  four  schools:  St.  Paul’s  School  for  Boys,  at  the  Yankton 
Agency,  in  charge  of  Mrs.  Jane  F.  Johnstone,  principal,  assisted  by  two  other  teachers. 
The  average  attendance  of  pupils  for  the  past  year  has  been  fifty-three.  St.  Mary’s  School 
for  Girls,  at  Rosebud  Agency,  under  the  charge  of  Mr.  J.  F.  Kinney,  Jr.,  principal,  as- 
sisted by  Mrs.  Kinney,  matron,  and  three  female  teachers.  The  average  attendance  of 
pupils  has  been  fifty.  St.  John’s  School  for  Girls,  Fort  Bennett,  under  the  care  of  Mr.  E. 


6 


J.  Warner,  principal,  assisted  by  Mrs.  Warner,  matron,  and  two  female  assistants;  aver- 
age attendance  of  pupils,  forty-five;  and  St.  Elizabeth’s  School  for  Boys  and  Girls, Stand- 
ing Rock  reserve,  under  the  supervision  of  Miss  Mary  S.  Francis,  principal,  assisted  by 
three  female  teachers ; average  attendance,  fifty-eight. 

Several  new  church  buildings  have  been  erected  by  the  Indian  congregations,  with 
some  assistance  given  by  the  Bishop.  These  are  at  Ascension  station.  Crow  Creek  re- 
serve; at  Holy  Faith  and  Holy  Name  Stations;  at  the  Black  Pipe,  Rosebud  reserve,  and  at 
Bad  Nation  Settlement.  A comfortable  and  substantial  rectory  has  been  erected  by  the 
Rev.  A.  B.  Clark  at  the  Rosebud  agency,  from  funds  from  the  legacy  of  the  late  Mrs. 
Elizabeth  M.  Graff,  and  a fine  church  and  simple  mission  dwelling  provided  for  out  of 
the  same  fund  on  the  same  reserve  at  a point  midway  between  the  government  boarding- 
school  and  our  mission  boarding-school. 

The  contributions  received  from  the  people  for  clerical  support  are  grouped  in  one 
fund,  and  disbursed  under  the  direction  of  the  Bishop  among  the  native  Deacons.  The 
amount  raised  by  the  Indians  for  that  purpose  during  the  jear  past  was  $680.69.  It  is  of 
interest  to  note  that  in  the  Indian  field  there  are  no  debts  of  any  kind  resting  upon  any 
of  the  buildings  of  the  mission,  with  the  exception  of  $153  on  the  Chapel  of  the  Holy 
Faith,  and  $223  on  the  Chapel  of  the  Holy  Name,  Lower  Brule. 

During  the  year  the  following  candidates  were  ordained  to  the  Diaconate:  Messrs. 
Herbert  Welsh,  Joseph  Good  Teacher  and  Percy  Phillips. 

Southern  Virginia.  The  Indian  School  at  Hampton,  Virginia,  has  continued  its 
good  work  throughout  the  year  without  interruption.  The  Rev.  Mr.  Bryan,  the  chap- 
lain, reports  that  the  past  twelve  months  have  shown  a remarkable  degree  of  earnestness 
among  the  students.  Of  the  130  pupils,  forty  are  communicants  of  the  Church,  twenty- 
three  of  whom  are  boys,  and  seventeen  girls.  There  are  twenty-five  young  men  in  the 
Bible-class.
